 Just my two cents...

Your sentiments are admirable but  to expect such an ocurence, or more to the 
point, for me to ytake funds away from the feast allotment to provide for  
people who do not pre-reg and expect to be fed anyway is not only unethical 
but absurd. Were I to find that 1.oo or even a nickel of my feast fees was 
being set aside for this purpose I would be very irrate and would not 
recommend anyone attend that event again without exception.

The nice thing about our shire and my household is you get what you pay for, 
you do not pay for others to play under any circumstances. Rather than 
loosening the rules for numbers on-board , we should be encouraging new cooks 
especailly to stick to thgeir original figures , no matter what. If a person 
did not pre-reg and shows up  to eat and did not bring their own food. I 
sympathize but , the bottom line is they should not expect to eat if they 
mafe last minute decisions to attend the event.

Lucky, for the few, I have been known to feed beggars. In fact, I have no 
problem with the concept of someone begging at the back door. .but I say 
let's call a spade a spade and provide yet another mwans to add stress to the 
Kitchen Stewards already burdensome load.
